We have a "spare" room in the house that hadbecome a storage room. Instead of being embarrased,I decided to share! Please do not judge...LOL

After many months of procrastinating, mydaughters, Gina & Maria, (used to be their room)came over to help me sort through all this clutter.Dominic was the strong box mover and he hauledmany items to my car to be taken to Goodwill, aswell as lots of garbage, and a portion going to theHistorical Society Gift Shop in Plantation.This was like therapy and also physicallyexhausting...but worth it. It took us two dayswith just a few more things to finish today.We made a trip to Goodwill in the afternoon yesterdayand the rest will go today! FREEDOM!

a bunch of junk!I am taking the fake headboard out todaya mountain of stuff!peace & tranquility...now I can buy some prettybed quilts and pillows...hey, I may move in here!
